Reggie working out hard

[mark at 10thumbs.org]

Don't know if anyone heard, but Miller was just on the Dan Patrick Show.
He sounds like he's very seriously considering it. He made the point --
which he's made before in print --- that the diff. with joining DAL last
year and BOS this is that that DAL was 16 games up and it seemed like
freeloading, whereas this BOS hasn't done squat yet... he'd be getting in
on the ground floor so-to-speak (my words not his).

Earlier DP asked Larry Bird if he'd contacted Miller. Larry Legend said
matter-of-factly "no." DP asked why not and in fantastic LL style he dryly
said "he's 42?!?".  Classic Bird.

That said, it's clear that Miller would be a great addition team chemistry
wise... whether he can still provide anything on the court, who knows. But
i still like the Bill Walton c.1986 comparisons.

"*Word is former NBA great Reggie Miller is still
seriously considering an opportunity to play for the
Boston Celtics and has been working out hard on the
West Coast. It’s uncertain when his decision will be
made."
